The Strange Case of Patient in the
San Francisco Hospital.
Ffonl IA Alta Californit


There is a singular case i'm the City and
County Hospital, which rivals in its strange
ness that of the celebrated Alexander St.
Martin, who, it will be remembered, had a
hole torn in his side by the discharge from
a gun, through which the interior of the
stomach could be plainly seen and the pro-
cesses of digestion watched. By this means
the digestibility of different foods were de-
termined, and for many years st. Martin
has been the cause celebre of medical
science. The case before referred to, that of
Edgar Jackson, also a Canadian, rivals ST.
Martins. He is native of New Brunswick,
% years DID, and up to year ago was work
ing in the shinge mills of Humboldt county,
in this State
Twelve months ago he was seized with an
attack of pleu"isy, which was treated with
Indifferent success in the country, and when
he came into the county hospital here his
lungs were suffused with water and pus By
means of hollow needle and a pump at
tached technically known as an aspirator,
his chest was tapped twenty-five times and
in all eight gallons of water drawn off.
Still the effusion continued, and as pus
was forming, the attending physician saw
the necessity for prompt action and deter
mined to make free opening into the side.
An incision was made into the left side over
six inches in length, severing the third,
IOurUl anu lllbh ilDei pOiblOIlo vi eftcH ilb
being taken off, SO that the opening would
not close. Through this the water and pus
made their escape freely, and the patients
life was saved for the time.
1t WI found that the pressure of the
water on the left lung had forced that organ
into the upper part of the thoracic cavity,
and it had solicited, leaving the heart and
its surrounding membrane, the pericardium,
exposed to view. Atpresent the patient is
getting on nicely, and If no accident occurs
will make complete recovery, although he
will have lost the use of his left lung. A
reporter saw the wound dressed recently
Into the gaping hole in the side was pumped
about quart of soap and water, which
dubbed and foamed under the pressure
from the contraction and expansion of the
right lung. Turning on his side. the water
escaped from the patient, and there, i'll full
sight, was the heart, every pulsatiol plainly
perceptible, the systole and disastole, the
contraction and expansion Of the human
engine, which has forever puzzled phloso-
pliers. and which will continue to do so, in
full view II is safe to say that never be-
fore have the inner workings Of the human
frame been so exposed to view with so little
apparent Inconvenience TO the patient. He
says he suffers no pain.

Inundated With silver Dollars.
IRON, the PHILADELPHIA Times.

The employees of the Sub-Treaslry were
somewhat excited the ether day about a
curious accident which happened in one of
the big vaults. A. number of officials, APP
pointed by Secretary Of the Treasury Fair
child. have been busy there over a week
counting and examining the money in tie
keeping of Assistant United States Treas
urer s. Davis Page. AS the coins are ex-
amined and counted they are placed i'll large
bars and stacked up against the side of the
va1Ilt. reaching to the top. Several million
dollars had been examined and placed in
fine pile, when one of the bags began to slip
and down came one of the tiers with crash,
fine force bursting the bags and making a
deep carpet of silver dollars on the floor.
Several clerks were IN the vault, but they
ran out and were not injured. 1t will re-
ouire several days to recount the coins.

Thonnas CARLYLE.

the great Scotch author, suffered all his life
with dyspepsia, which made his own life
miserable, and caused his best and truest
friends not little pain because of his fret
fitness. Dyspepsia generally arises from
disease of the liver, and as Dr. Pierce's
@Golden Medical Discovery" cures all dis
eases of this great gland, it follows that
while all cannot be Carlyles, even with dys-
pepsia, all can be free from the malaoy,
while emulating his virtues.

Beds for Winter.

There is one popular delusion-popu'
lar in so far as it is common to all wo'
mankind-that weight and warmth are
synonymous. and that bed-coverine
which lacks weight must necessarily
lack comfort. The housekeeper a.
winter approaches turns over her stock
of comfortables, which have either been
in dark closet all summer or, it may
be. remained between two mattresses;
either method insuring the mustiness
that is the characteristic of most CON-
fortabes. The dark closet method IL
distinctly preferable, if the comfort
able has been thoroughly summed before
it was laid away and is thoroughly
summed again before its winter mission
begins But the whole question of win
ter bedding as it stands in the house
keepers mind. requires reconstruction,
beginning with the fallacy already
mentioned. that weight means warmth.
A well-made comfortable, where tn,
best quality of both cotton and cover
ing have been used, has its rightfu
place in the household economy. Such
comfortable should DO two yards ano
quarter in Tenth, or even two yard,
and third, that generous portion
may be tucked in at the bottom, mol
should it be less than two yards in
width for the ordinary bed. Three
pounds of the best cotton may ill it,
five are often used. but three are ample,
and this cotton, evenly and lightly laid
on one surface of the covering. il
caught in securely when the upper
cover is laid on either by hand or by
machine quilting, or by tying" a
fixed intervals with worsted or yarn Of
contrasting colors. Such a comfortable
for the ordinary double beds, require
thirteen and half yards of common
Calico or twelve and half of yard-wids
material Calico may be had for fiv,
cents yard, and the best cotton al
twenty cents a pound, the article. ex
elusive of labor, being thus worth 81. 40,
Anything but the best cotton is filled
with cotton-seed. and has thus necessa-
rilv, the strong smell of cotton-seed oil.
Add this defect of natural constitution
to the acquired unpleasantness of an
unaired room, or long use, and it is
small wonder that sensitive nose suf'
fers, and that housekeepers wonder
why bedrooms seem so stutfy The
fact is that no civilized bedroom should
contain an article of bedding which can
not be washed or otherwise thoroughly
cleansed. and herein lies the chief OBJ
lection to either comfortable or quilt
in which the cotton is firmly fastened
down.
Cotton absorbs and holds the bodily
exhalations. but, unhapply, whom
washed loses its lightness and becomes
species OF felt made of knots and
strings. The economical housekeeper,
soil on that portion drawn about the
neck, or, II matters are too serious for
such method, RECEIVERS the whole, find
ing this preferable to cutting the num-
berless knots of tied comfortable.
